For some reason, Hornady's seem to shoot tighter over any other factory round in almost every rifle I've tried them in, at least the Light Mag rounds (when they were in production). Even my Ruger M77 .30-06 made quarter sized groups at 100yrds.
Very Fine rig, mind if I ask the price tag on it and where you got it? When I get back to civilization I plan a doing some comp shooting, and the creedmoor is what I've been looking at.

I wish I knew what I paid for it. If you were to buy it all new it would run around $6,000 including the glass. I like to buy, sell, trade etc etc. I also picked up some parts off the prize tables of matches. I had Matt Parry of Parry Custom gun in Vici Oklahoma rebarrel it for me. I think he did a fine job of it. Here are the rest of the details of the rifle.
If I had time on my hands, I'd order one from George at GAP or Preston over at Surgeon rifles.
